Rainbow Over the Callanish Standing Stones, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides

 

This image was captured on New Year's Day morning in 2018 during some challenging weather but it was definitely worth hanging in there. When the rainbow appeared, I immediately moved into position and fired off a couple of shots before it disappeared.

 

That's the thrill of shooting landscapes for me, having such a short amount of time sometimes to photograph fleeting moments of such stunning scenes.

 

If there's one tip that I can offer you is to use a polariser when shooting rainbows as this captures the colours beautifully.

You can read more helpful tips on how to photograph in challenging weather in an article that I featured in recently in Amateur Photographer magazine. Click below to read the article. Enjoy.
